• Resumen

  • “The two test oil rigs will determine the quality of the crude because we don’t know yet whether it’s light, the density of the crude, and the sulfur content, because that will dictate the price of a barrel of oil,” he added. What the frack Bahrain does not have expertise in offshore drilling or with shale oil extraction, Al Doseri said, so much will also depend on the results of the test wells when determining what technology, and what fracking minerals, will be needed. [...]most of the country’s oil infrastructure is in the south of the country, with good access to the location of the shale oil find, and well away from the population centers around Manama.The gas portion of the new resource is expected to be easier to develop than the shale oil, and Bahrain may be able to benefit from the development of unconventional gas projects elsewhere in the Middle East, such as in Saudi Arabia and Oman, which with Bahrain are fellow members of the Gulf Co-operation Council.
